Dear All,
I already rooted the NookColor. But one of the app failed me to logon. I found out that it need to have the original Android Id. Now, how can I obtain that Id? If I reverse back to stock rom, will my original id back? If it does, how do I get it? (There is an app called Android ID Changer, but can I run it on the original nookcolor?)
Thanks,
TL

In a couple of threads I've seen references to changing or restoring your "device ID". Did a search and couldn't find anything. What is this and how do you do it?

Basically it's a problem with froyo ROMs. Our phones have unique device ID. Froyo ROMs have the same device id for each device which causes market issues (i.e. downloading apps but it not being able to install often). That's why people want to change their device ID's so that their market problems are gone.
Some of the ROMs (like Cognition, perception, etc.) have random android id generator so that market issues are fixed. Alternatively, you can flash back to stock, use "Android ID changer" from market to find your device ID, flash to one of the froyo ROMs, then use the same app to change your ID.
had same problem. Unless its preventing you from installling market apps its not a big deal and nothing to worry about. If you absolutely want to modify it while on custom rom then the id changer should work. But in all most all instances ODIN one-clicks back to JF6 will restore your device id.
Want you to look at something first as you could have 2 problems. Most froyo roms will change your device id to a generic 004...#. Generally when you flash back to stock it will restore your original IMEI.
It wasn't until i had used an i9000 rom that i had the following problem. Not only was my IMEI changed....it changed my product code to a T-mobile code. What should have been SGH-I897kzaatt was showing as SGH-I897kzatmb. Even flashing stock was not restoring either IMEI or product code. Ended up having to edit binary file in efs folder but it gave me headaches. (can walk you through but want you to make sure your product code is ok first.
To check your product code the easister method is SHS Toolbox (not SGS Tools) from market.
You will need (Root Permission):
1. Install Busybox from Market
2. Install SGS Toolbox from Market.
3. Make sure you also download TERMINAL EMULATOR from market as you may need it to restore your voice and 3G connections later in process. There are 2 versions make sure you get the one with more stars.
Once you have done 1-3 run SGS Tools and select the CHECK PRODUCT CODE. Report the results back here.
I need to change my product code back... can you help?
When I had 2.1, I was able to connect to my College's exchange account, but now that I flashed 2.2 on my phone, I can't get on my email. When I go to my email via laptop, and look under my mobile settings it shows 2 Androids listed, obviously 1 is when I had 2.1 and the other my 2.2.
My problem is that on the 2.2 one, exchange says:
Device ID: Validate
whereas for my 2.1 one, exchange says:
Device ID: droid(and then a bunch of numbers)
How do I "Validate" my device ID?
Is my device ID and my Android ID one in the same?
I dl'd the Android ID Changer, and the ID it shows is completely different from what I had before, can I change it back to what it showed for 2.1 in my exchange account?

Yes you can change it back, just type in the original id and hit save.
Although if you are having issues with it being recognized on your schools email, the tech support staff at your school most likely could fix the validate issue for you a heck of a lot faster than we could since we have no control over it.

Device ID does not = Android ID
Device ID = IMEI
and should match the imei on the label under your battery
once you check your product code you are likely to see it is incorrect.
The link i am going to provide repairs the nv_data files with correct product code for your device (which in my case allowed the IMEI to be restored to original).
Your product code should be SGH-KZAATT (but is likely SGH-KZATOR or SGH-KZATMB).
Flash to stock JF6 2.1 eclair and try what worked for me if you find your product code to be incorrect.

wasn't being critical toward you sorry.
was just trying to make sure he was clear on the different ID's
but looks like he may have already used android id changer and possibly tried to modify his Android ID to his Device ID which could be a problem especially if he didn't write down his original Android ID that is used for the market/google.
I recently got a samsung captivate. I imported it because i live in new zealand, so its been unlocked to work with the local network (Telecom NZ). The people i bought it from seem to have changed the software in too many ways too explain (basically no samsung apps, swype, accelerometer or anything else that makes this smart phone better than an iphone).
I think my most logical way to solve this is to flash a stock captivate rom onto it. But will doing this lock my phone again? I still want to use the telecom mobile network, so basically all i want is all the software fixed to what it should be. I am currently running Android 2.1 i897UCJF6. So im looking for a link to a rom that will put it to whatever android they are usually sold with, im not looking for froyo or anything i just want what i paid for.
If you could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated
Also is there anyway to backup all my contacts? It came rooted so im just looking for the location to copy them off? or is their a program i can use? And will i be able to re-download my purchased apps from the marketplace?
Thanks,
Doc

Once it's unlocked, it will remain unlocked unless the nv_data.bin is restored to the original..

I can not for the life of me figure it out, I've searched and searched but I can not find the info i need.
I have a htc vouge, verizon model
with the newest built of Android 2.2 (froyo)
Help, I dont want to go back to WinMo, I bought this thing for the sole purpose of running android.
What's your question? You can activate it just like any other phone just call 228, if you do not want data, you do have to call and block data. I activated my touch 1 month ago no probelms. If you need more info please post specific questions /probelms.

I think i found my problem, before i flashed android it was running a telus rom thus not having the proper radio setting for verizon. I flashed back a stock verizon rom, activated it there, flashed Froyo again and then i was able to activate no problem.
"Connection Problem or invalid MMI code.
I'm having the same problem on my HTC vogue. Can anyone help? I am only able to make calls to one of my contacts it's very strange. All other contacts I get the error, connection problem or invalid MMI code. I am running Android 2.2.1 Kernel 2.6.32.9. Baseband: unknown
Thank you so much.

Try flashing back to windows mobile and update your radio to the latest version: Sprint - 3.42.30; Bell - 3.42.50; etc. Then flash android again, retry activation and you should be on your way. Hope this helps.

If you applied the rom. It means its kernel or rom is not compatible.. Flash something else. Or a new kernel..... And something every Samsung owner should know. BACK UP YOUR EFS FOLDER!! IF IT'S EVER 0499******* YOUR SCREWED
